The JV boy’s race saw a trio of rookies take to the course. Freshman Tristan Blair led all Roughnecks with a 8th place finish in 20:46. Blair was followed by Sophomore Adrian Pinson in 2oth with a time of 22:07. Logan Duggar, also a freshman, finished the 5k course in 23:25 for 42nd out of 122 runners.
